The Gospel-Centered Life at Work: Study Guide with Leader's Notes Robert W Alexander

Tired of the daily grind? If you asked a dozen Christians why their work matters, you'd probably get a dozen different answers. Whether paid or unpaid, skilled or menial--each of us longs to find meaning in what we do from day to day. Can the gospel really help us in our quest?

The Gospel-Centered Life at Work invites CEOs and homeschooling parents, doctors and plumbers, white-, blue-, and pink-collar workers to sit down and discuss our work as a common call to follow Jesus in all of life. Whether we struggle with complaining at work, defensiveness, fearing the future, frustration, or troubling ethical decisions--work brings challenges to each of us that we cannot handle apart from Christ. The Gospel-Centered Life at Work shows us how to turn to Jesus in repentance and faith and to both work and rest in Him.

The ten lessons in this small group study help participants to build a bridge from personal faith to the difficulties of the daily grind. Each lesson in The Gospel-Centered Life at Work is self-contained, featuring clear teaching from Scripture, and requires no extra work outside of the group setting. The self-explanatory Leader's Guide helps small group leaders with discussion questions and background material that clearly explain and apply the gospel truths from each lesson.
